Blame Thechampagne (5/2), Bruce Lightning (10/3), Mary The Priest (9/2), Scorchio (11/2), Dandy Sands (8/1), Elliptical (10/1), Dandy Lichious (14/1), Byzantine Empress (16/1), Charles Atlas (16/1), Harry The Rogue (18/1), Parish Record (18/1), Poppadom (20/1), Megarry (20/1), Motor City (40/1), Francoise Ardy (50/1), A Daughtersdelight (66/1), Layoftheland (80/1)

BLAME THECHAMPAGNE has been highly tried since her debut and this looks a good opportunity back in a maiden. Bruce Lightning made a promising debut when third at Cork and rates a big threat, while Parish Record is a newcomer to note.
